Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

Chapter 91 Timing of the Arrest

The lack of a clear, direct refusal was, in Ning Xiuxuan's view, an acceptance, only that the conditions offered were insufficient.

However, this is quite normal, as the core area of ​​the Guangling Secret Realm is said to contain even Core Formation spiritual objects.

That's Taiyuan Sect's private territory; how could they possibly allow outsiders to enter?

If someone were to bring outsiders in without authorization, the crime would be extremely serious.

The Taiyuan Sect doesn't care about the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the outside world, but the Core Formation stage is a different story.

Over the years, the Taiyuan Sect has strictly controlled the spiritual objects used for Core Formation, and even the corresponding secret techniques and the inheritance of cultivation methods for those who have reached the Core Formation stage will not be allowed to easily leak out.

"Fellow Daoist Hongye, you should reconsider. All I need is a verbal promise, not a signed spiritual contract or any substantial written evidence."

"If you're worried I'll use this to blackmail you, you really don't need to."

"Furthermore, if you agree to this, I can provide you with some information about other Blood Spirit Sect cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongye fell silent, her mind racing as she weighed the pros and cons.

"But I know nothing about the Guangling Secret Realm. How can you be so sure I can take you in?"

It's done!

Ning Xiuxuan said confidently, "Of course I have some solutions, and I definitely won't make things difficult for you. You'll just need to do a small favor."

After pondering for a long time, Lin Hongye stood up and said, "I need you to send me the information about Mei Jinya and the other demonic cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect as soon as possible."

"Hahaha, of course, no problem. I'll send it to you as soon as possible."

"Fellow Daoist Hongye, please take care. I have other important matters to attend to, so please excuse me for not seeing you off further."

And so, Lin Hongye left the private room of the restaurant without looking back.

Ning Xiuxuan, who watched her leave, moved his lips slightly as if he were saying something, but no sound came out.

"Old Ghost, are you sure your method can bypass the restrictions set up by the Taiyuan Sect in the secret realm and enter the core area of ​​the Guangling Secret Realm?"

Not long after, a weathered voice resounded in his heart: "Don't worry, as long as an elder of the Taiyuan Sect is willing to cooperate with you inside, it's not a difficult thing."

"Is the core area really the Spirit Condensation Heavenly Pool you mentioned? Can one increase the probability of forming a Core by 20% just by soaking in it?" A glint of light flashed in Ning Xiuxuan's eyes.

"There's no mistake. I personally searched the sea of ​​consciousness of a Core Formation cultivator from the Taiyuan Sect years ago, and I even know where that place is."

They knew it perfectly well.

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiuyuan's eyes became extremely deep.

If he could soak in the Spirit Condensation Heavenly Pool and then bring out a Core Formation item, then with his aptitude, successfully forming a Core in the future would definitely not be a difficult task.

No Foundation Establishment cultivator can resist the temptation of Core Formation.

A few days later, Lin Hongye received the information she wanted.

It is related to Mei Jinya, the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Blood Spirit Sect!

"I see. The reason why Mei Jinya only sent disciples in the Qi Refining stage to the arena was to create the illusion that the Bloodthirsty Demon Bat had advanced."

"In a few days, that disciple will take a second-tier Bloodthirsty Demon Bat to the arena to fight in turn against the dozen or so second-tier demonic beasts kept there, and then steal their essence blood."

"Mei Jinya and that Qi Refining stage disciple never meet directly. The disciple always leaves the inn first, and a while later, Mei Jinya goes into the room and leaves a secret letter."

After reading the information provided by Ning Xiuxuan, Lin Hongye released a wisp of crimson innate true fire from her fingertips, burning the letter to ashes.

"No wonder I never gained anything from following that Qi Refining disciple; the two sides have never met or made contact directly."

"Mei Jinya is skilled at disguise, and since a considerable number of cultivators enter and leave Fengyi Inn every day, he was able to make contact smoothly through this method."

All this information was provided by Ning Xiuxuan. After thinking it over carefully for a long time, she decided to trust him this time.

Furthermore, this place is Taiyuan Immortal City, and with the array token in her hand, she can utilize the power of the city's third-tier grand array to fight enemies at any time.

Even if her opponent is a Core Formation stage cultivator, she is confident that she can hold out for a while.

Furthermore, the city is equipped with a teleportation array that connects to the Taiyuan Sect's mountain gate. If any problems arise within the city, the sect will send reinforcements immediately.

Unless a Nascent Soul stage cultivator personally visits this place, this city is absolutely impregnable.

"Let's try cooperating with Ning Xiuxuan once first."

The intelligence report states that this late-stage Tier 1 Bloodthirsty Demon Bat is currently secretly stealing the essence blood of other demonic beasts, leaving some behind after each battle.

Once the blood essence has been collected sufficiently, the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators will use it to refine a Blood Pill, which they will then feed to the Devourer.

Let the Blood Demon Bat try to advance.

At that time, regardless of whether the advancement is successful or not, this person will have an additional second-tier Bloodthirsty Demon Bat in their possession.

In this way, they could legitimately take him to the Colosseum.

"I didn't expect Ning Xiuxuan to have obtained such complete information. If this weren't in Taiyuan Immortal City, I would have suspected something was amiss."

"Waiting for the right opportunity..."

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

During this time, the Blood Spirit Sect Qi Refining cultivator who was being secretly watched by Lin Hongye went to the arena twice more.

Both matches ended in victory.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bat in his hand had already gained considerable fame in the arena, and many forces had even offered generous terms to acquire it.

Unfortunately, the man was unmoved and even claimed that he planned to have the Bloodthirsty Demon Bat attempt to advance to a second-tier demon beast.

Lin Hongye, who had been secretly monitoring the matter, knew that the time to capture Mei Jinya was approaching.

Sure enough, three days later, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the Fengyi Inn in the city, and a dense aura of bloodlust swept over, instantly permeating most of the street.

Many cultivators nearby were slightly taken aback and looked towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation.

"It's Fengyi Inn. Such a powerful aura... Is someone attempting to establish their foundation?"

"No, a normal cultivator would never have such a phenomenon when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage. It's more like a demon beast advancing to the next level."

"Are you crazy? Which beast tamer would choose to advance their beast in such a bustling city instead of taking it to a quiet place?"

'

Knowing the key to the matter, Lin Hongye immediately dispatched her law enforcement disciples to seal off Fengyi Inn.

There's no need to worry about alerting the enemy. Since something like this happened in the city, it's natural to send law enforcement disciples to investigate and then question them about what happened.

Doing nothing would only arouse suspicion; these are all normal procedures.
